Night Raid (2)

"Hehe, of course, I'm very skilled. Actually, I deliberately burned it." Ye Lang looked very impressive.

"Yeah, right!"

"... Please don't say it out loud..."

"Okay, I won't say it out loud. You deliberately burned it, just for this taste, alright?"

"Um!"

"..."

Under the moonlight, the two sat on the trunk of a large tree. If someone saw this scene, they would find it very picturesque and beautiful.

The two people in the scene, however, were oblivious to this and continued chatting, saying extremely inappropriate things.

Ye Lang and Cold-Blooded Fifth didn't have much to talk about; their conversations were mostly about assassins. Ye Lang taught Cold-Blooded Fifth everything he knew, so she could kill even more silently.

"Didn't you say Li Yue likes to look at the moon? Why don't you take this opportunity to let her look at the moon with you?" Cold-Blooded Fifth suddenly thought of this question.

Although Cold-Blooded Fifth also enjoyed sitting with Ye Lang and watching the moon, for her, completing what Ye Lang needed to do was the most important thing.

"She does like watching, but she's already inside the tent, how can I watch with her! Besides, watching the moon with her isn't as comfortable as watching with you, I'd definitely feel very uncomfortable with her," Ye Lang said.

"You have to go even if you feel uncomfortable, since you're the one chasing after her!" Cold-Blooded Fifth didn't care about anything else, nor did she care why Ye Lang was so comfortable with her. She just wanted Ye Lang to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Actually, she was thinking that if she could resolve this matter sooner, she wouldn't have to watch Ye Lang and Li Yue together while she secretly followed them.

For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable seeing the two of them together, something she, a cold-blooded killer, had never experienced before.

"Little Five, look! A jinx..."

"..."

In the night sky, a comet with a long tail appeared before the two of them, a rare sight as comets have very long appearance cycles.

This was originally a memorable situation, but it was ruined by someone's use of the word "jinx".

"Can't you put it nicely? You've ruined all the beautiful things!" Cold-Blooded Fifth's small hand reached out to Ye Lang's waist and then pinched Ye Lang hard.

Oh, to put it nicely...

"Little Five, look! What a beautiful jinx..."

"..."

Is there a difference?

It was quite late at night when Ye Lang actually went out for a late-night snack with Cold-Blooded Fifth, which left Cold-Blooded Fifth feeling helpless, but there was nothing she could do but stay with him, otherwise he wouldn't let her get a good night's sleep.

What do you want for a late-night snack?

"Beggar's Chicken..."

Among the afternoon's prey were several pheasants. Ye Lang suddenly thought of eating them. Roasted chicken would burn, but beggar's chicken shouldn't burn. He could just throw them in and leave them alone.

"That's it?" When Cold-Blooded Fifth saw Ye Lang throw the mud into the fire, she was stunned. She had never seen anything like it before.

"Okay, that's settled!" Ye Lang nodded.

"Is this edible?" Cold-Blooded Fifth expressed his doubts.

"I think it's possible!" Ye Lang wasn't sure, after all, it was his first time doing it.

"Should be able to? You can't?" Cold-Blooded Fifth frowned slightly.

Ye Lang picked up a piece of firewood, broke it in half, and threw it into the campfire, replying nonchalantly, "No, this is the first time, but it shouldn't be wrong!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I would have made you a midnight snack. Honestly!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said with a hint of resentment.

After Cold-Blooded Fifth's reminder, Ye Lang seemed to remember something. "Oh, right, you and Fatty are both cooks, I forgot! Damn, I'll definitely make you cook me a midnight snack tomorrow night..."

"Tomorrow night? What about tonight?" Cold-Blooded Fifth asked.

"Of course, it's beggar's chicken!"

"..."

Are you sure you will succeed?

Cold-Blooded Fifth didn't ask this question aloud. She knew Ye Lang's answer would definitely be yes, and given Ye Lang's luck, he should be able to succeed, or at least succeed a little bit.

Like burnt rabbit meat roasted at night, there will still be a little bit of...

And so, the two sat down again in front of the fire, with Ye Lang leaning close to Cold-Blooded Fifth. Cold-Blooded Fifth even asked Ye Lang what he was doing, and Ye Lang's answer was—

"This way it's warmer, I'm afraid you'll get cold!"

"I'm not cold!"

"I'm cold!"

"..."

Actually, this isn't bad; it does provide a bit of warmth. Cold-Blooded Fifth Xuewu leaned against Ye Lang, gazing into the distance, lost in thought...

"Little Five!" Ye Lang suddenly said.

"?!"

"Do you think Athena's plan includes a hero rescuing a damsel in distress?" Ye Lang asked.

"Perhaps there will be. Girls usually have a deeper impression of this, but given Li Yue's strength, it's unlikely she'll have the chance," Cold-Blooded Fifth said.

"Oh, then I'll leave it at that!" Ye Lang continued to rub the fire with a twig.

"Whatever?" Cold-Blooded Fifth, somewhat curious.

"I just realized that some people have gone to Li Yue's place," Ye Lang said calmly.

"What?!" Cold-Blooded Fifth was stunned. "You mean, someone is on Li Yue's side, and you just asked me this question because you discovered this."

"Yes, about ten minutes ago," Ye Lang said casually, not taking it to heart.

"..." Cold-Blooded Fifth remained silent. "Ten minutes ago, why are you only saying this now?"

Why didn't you say so sooner!

"I didn't know they were going to find Li Yue. It's not surprising that some people are appearing at the hunting grounds," Ye Lang replied.

"Then how do you know that now?"

"They're near Li Yue's tent now, and some people have even gone inside..." Ye Lang remained indifferent, showing no intention of making a move.

"..."

"Idiot, hurry up and go over there! Whether it's Athena's plan or not, you should go now!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said immediately, pulling Ye Lang up.

If it's Athena's plan, then Ye Lang, as the protagonist of the story, naturally has to appear; otherwise, how can that play continue?

If not, then Ye Lang should definitely show up; this would be a true hero saving a damsel in distress!

"Let's have a midnight snack first..." Ye Lang dug out the clod of mud, wanting to crack it open and eat a few bites.

"Eat my ass, hurry up!!" Cold-Blooded Fifth knocked on Ye Lang, then disappeared into the darkness and approached Li Yue's tent.

Having no other choice, Ye Lang carried the clod of mud toward Li Yue...

Returning to Li Yue's side, back to the moment someone sneaked into the tent, Li Yue drew her sword and slashed at the person who had entered. This slash didn't seem to be done with full force; it was merely meant to drive the intruder away.

At that moment, Li Yue thought the person who came in was Ye Lang, and she cursed inwardly: You really are shameless, deliberately not bringing a tent and sneaking in in the middle of the night...
